Karaoke songs in Japanese that are easy for men in their 60s to sing (71–80)

If I Could Play the PianoNishida Toshiyuki

Toshiyuki Nishida, who has left a strong mark in many works as a renowned actor.

He’s a versatile performer, and for a time he was active as a musical artist as well.

When it comes to songs that represent him, isn’t it, after all, “Moshimo Piano ga Hiketa Nara” (“If Only I Could Play the Piano”)? It’s characterized by a very calm vocal delivery, with a relatively even melodic contour and a narrow range.

It’s ideal for karaoke when you’re getting tired and want to sing something that can be performed softly.

Sunset SongKondō Masahiko

As a leading idol of the Showa era, Masahiko Kondo left behind many classic songs.

While many men have little interest in male idols, I imagine quite a few men in their late 50s made an exception for this song, “Yuuyake no Uta.” This work exudes a mature, understated cool, featuring a melody with a hint of enka.

The vocal range is fairly average, but because the vocal lines embody the familiar enka-like feel that Japanese listeners are accustomed to, it’s very easy to sing.

AMERICA

AMERICA Shogo Hamada
AMERICA

This is a refreshing song that portrays the ordinary, everyday life spent in America, a place approached with a sense of longing.

It’s included on the 1986 album “J.BOY.” The American scenery depicted through country-tinged sounds and lyrics is striking, evoking a strong image of the America you see in films.

The vocals unfold as if slowly looking back on memories, so relaxing your shoulders may help both with ease of singing and with creating the right mood.

It might also be important to focus on singing as if sending your feelings to a faraway place.

Midnight Flight — A Lonely Christmas Eve

Midnight Flight – A Lonely Christmas Eve Shogo Hamada
Midnight Flight — A Lonely Christmas Eve

It’s a bittersweet Christmas-themed love song that portrays a lover leaving Tokyo and the protagonist’s struggle with being unable to stop them.

Cherished alongside “Kanashimi wa Yuki no Yō ni” as one of Shogo Hamada’s classic winter songs, it creates a Christmas atmosphere through elements like the chorus.

The contrast between the festive sound and the aching lyrics heightens the sense of heartache.

Because the story comes through clearly, you can fully feel the song’s poignancy—so the key is to sing in a way that communicates the content straightforwardly.

With a gentle melodic range, it’s a song you can perform with a relaxed, tender mood.

The road I walked with you

The Road I Walked With You – Shogo Hamada
The road I walked with you

This song looks back on the road the singer has walked so far and talks about how satisfied they are with their life.

It was released as a single ahead of the 2005 album “My First Love,” included as the B-side to “I am a father.” The simple arrangement of acoustic guitar and percussion seems to highlight the gentle message of the lyrics.

The vocal line, with its modest melodic range and conversational delivery, makes it easy to sing, and performing it in a relaxed manner will likely bring out the song’s atmosphere even more.

Your smile

Your Smile (ON THE ROAD 2022 LIVE at Budokan)
Your smile

It’s a love song filled with tenderness and poignancy, looking back on the memories built up with a cherished person.

The way it tries to somehow avoid a sad ending when the two are about to grow apart conveys the strength of its feelings.

The warm, gently unfolding sound and the softly conversational vocals layered together express single-hearted devotion.

Singing slowly and relaxed, as if delivering the words straight and true, is a key point in crafting the song’s world.

A more effortless, unforced singing style may better convey the emotions embedded in the song.

The continuation of a dream

Dreams, Continued [Album Version] (Music Video / Short Version)
The continuation of a dream

This song portrays memories built with family and the wish for children to grow up healthy.

It is included on the 2015 album “Journey of a Songwriter.” Because of its simple structure—like a solo guitar performance—the warmth of family comes through clearly.

The song’s essence lies in a gentle vocal delivery that faces one’s own heart, so it’s important to sing as if conveying the lyrics directly.

Its relatively modest melodic range also makes it easy to sing, which is part of the song’s appeal.
